I'm looking for an artist to create album artwork for my band The Great Airport Mystery's upcoming EP, "Voyager". It's the follow-up to our debut album, The Great Spaceport Mystery, a progressive metal concept album about space exploration and the origins of humanity. Since the EP is a continuation of the story, I imagine the cover looking similar the original, but ideally it would be great to have your interpretation after hearing some of the music. The album will be released digitally, and we will need artwork for the front and back cover.
Here is the link to the first album / cover for your reference: http://thegreatairportmystery.com
This EP focuses on the secondary character in the first album's story—a robot named Brotron. During the EP, he's floating in space in the wake of the conclusion of the first album, drifting towards a wormhole that will lead him back to our solar system.
Below is the EP info and tracklist:
Band: The Great Airport Mystery
Title: Voyager
Tracklist:
1. Eris
2. Triton
3. Sagan
If this project interests you, please let me know if there's any other info that I can provide to make this project as easy and enjoyable for you as possible.
Thanks, and I look forward to your response!

Requirements
Must have
- This is a concept album about space exploration, so the theme should certainly incorporate space.
Nice to have
- Our debut album cover was a mixture of illustration and digital coloring (a la the work of Jacob Bannon). It would be ideal to have a similar style; however it is not necessary.
- Additionally, our musical style is progressive metal, so the album cover may have a darker aesthetic than releases of other genres.
- Finally, feel free to try out concepts with regards to typography (i.e. the band name, etc.). However, at this stage we're more interested in a design/imagery for the cover than the text.
Should not have
- If you would like to incorporate typography in your design, please do not use Futura.
